On February 24th, an 11-year-old school girl was involved in a seemingly minor schoolyard
altercation with another pupil. Students said they suspected the fight
was other a boy and they went to a nearby alley to fight. The fight was
quickly broken up by a friend, but not before J.R. was punched in the
face, causing her nose to bleed. Witnesses who were there said that neither
girl was pushed to the ground or hit in the head, but later J.R. stated
that she was not feeling well. Adults then drove her to the emergency
room where she was hospitalized and underwent surgery. The girl died at
around 9 p.m. that night, only six hours after the fight. Police are now
investigating exactly what happened and are interviewing the other girl
who was involved in the fight.
